Let's compare the Sava Intensa UHP 2 and Uniroyal RainSport 5 tyres from a variety of test results. These two tyres are summer types, meaning they offer optimum performance when the temperature is above 7°C. Overall, our rankings place the Sava Intensa UHP 2 slightly above the Uniroyal RainSport 5, with ratings of 78% and 71% respectively. Let's delve deeper into their specific strengths and weaknesses as gathered from various tests.
Sava Intensa UHP 2 is an upgraded model from the former Sava Intensa UHP. It scores particularly well in tests for short dry braking distances, and offers a lower rolling resistance, reflecting its efficiency. However, the tyre draws criticism for its tendencies to understeer during both wet and dry handling situations and moderate aquaplaning reserves. Despite this, it has excellent ratings in key areas, including a good performance in aquaplaning scenarios and stable handling on dry roads. One standout feature of the Sava Intensa UHP 2 is its affordable price when compared to the performance it offers. However, the tests pointed out a potentially limited tread life as a drawback for this tyre.
On the other hand, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 doesn't outshine the Sava Intensa UHP 2 in direct comparison of the test results, placing at position 36 out of 51 in the Autobild test - a significant distance behind the Sava tyre at position 15. However, it does showcase very good aquaplaning performance, both cross and longitudinal, ranking it as one of the tyre's best features. You can learn more about the Uniroyal RainSport 5 on its manufacture's page.
In conclusion, while both of these tyres are a solid choice for summer driving, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 seems to be a better overall performer according to our test rankings. Its performance during aquaplaning events, combined with stable dry handling and an affordable price, make it an attractive choice. However, do keep its potentially limited tread life in mind. The Uniroyal RainSport 5 may be a better option if the focus is specifically on aquaplaning resistance. Be sure to consider the specific driving conditions and your own priorities when selecting a tyre.
